I think Sapp announced this a while back. I dont know if he's hall of fame material. Brett Favre sure the hell is.

Yeah, it was just that yesterday he submitted the official paperwork

I think Sapp is HOF material. Probably not first ballot, but he was one of the best D-tackles of all time, won a Super Bowl, made multiple pro-bowls... I'm not a big fan of his friggin mouth, but his body of work on the field is pretty outstanding. 96.5 sacks for DT is damn good.

Let's take the emotion out of it and look at his resume:

7 straight Pro Bowl selections
96.5 career sacks (2nd highest ever for a defensive tackle)
1999 Defensive Player of the Year

Hard to argue with those numbers. I'd be shocked if he's not in the Hall someday.
Maybe just not his first chance in 5 years, but i agree.

I say Farve and Sapp get inducted in together and contribute to a GLORIOUS induction ceremony.

Favre deffinately but Sapp... Im back and forth on him. He was a part of a really nasty Bucs deffense that was almost unstoppable but that whole team was good. He kinda disapeared in Oakland. He did have a long career so maybe he was just old, but I have a hard time believing he gets in on first ballot based on how he finished his career. Favre ended in the NFC championship.... Sapp with a horrible team three years in a row. (which I am in no way blaming him solely for)

That was a great rivalry. It'd be fitting if Strahan retired this year as well

It could still happen. He almost retired before this season started, and now that he won it all, why not call it a career?

Maybe just not his first chance in 5 years, but i agree.

I don't know...I can't think of many DT's better than he was. He really should be a first ballot HOFer, he had an amazing career and most of it was spent being double teamed. He changed the opponants game plan just by being on the field.
Favre and Sapp should both be inducted together. I'm not sure that Strahan would make it if he actually did retire though.
